She feels someone watching her, then looks up to see a Brenleaning against the doorway.
Vanessa blinks away her tears self-consciously.
VANESSA How do I look?
BREN (gently)Like a mom. Scared shitless.
Vanessa laughs.
112 INT. HOSPITAL - BIRTHING SUITE - DAY 112
Juno is curled up on her bed in the birthing room. The birthis obviously over; there’s that air of stillness andaccomplishment, a task completed. The doctors have clearedout. Mac sits in a chair next to the bed, looking like he’snot sure what to say.
He holds up a deck of Playing cards as if to initiate a game,but Juno gently pushes his hand away. Their eyes meet. Hisexpression is helpless, hers is utterly drained.
MAC
Someday, you’ll be back here,
honey. On your terms.
Juno nods and swallows.
Over Mac’s shoulder, a silhouette appears in the doorway.It’s Bleeker in his track uniform.
Juno sees him and bursts into sudden, ragged sobs. Macglances at her, alarmed. Paulie moves toward the bed. Macclears his throat, gets up and leaves the room.
Paulie climbs onto the hospital bed and carefully puts hisarm around Juno. She leans into him, letting herself go forthe first time in months.
113 INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - BIRTHING SUITE - EVENING 113
Juno lies on the bed. She looks rested and relaxed comparedto her earlier crying jag, but her face is still pink andswollen. Bleeker is curled up next to her, still in his trackuniform and spikes.
JUNO V.O.
Bleeker decided he didn’t want to
see the baby. Neither did I,
really. He didn’t feel like ours.
114 INT. HOSPITAL - MATERNITY WARD - EVENING 114
We see Vanessa leaning over the bassinet, unable to take hereyes off the baby, touching it’s hair reverently.
JUNO V.O. I think he was always hers.

116 INT. LORING HOUSE - NURSERY - DAY 116
The nursery is perfectly decorated in Vanessa’s immaculatetaste. Nothing looks as though it’s been touched. We see theantique ROCKING CHAIR sitting empty.
JUNO V.O. It ended with a chair.
We pan past the wall Vanessa had said “needed something.”There’s a framed note on the wall. It looks like it was handwritten on the back of a Jiffy Lube bill. We see that itsays: “Vanessa - If you’re still in, I’m still in. Juno.”
We move to the door and get a view of Vanessa’s bedroom. Wesee her lying in bed with a burp cloth draped over hershoulder, feeding the baby. For the first time ever, Vanessalooks disorganized, unshowered--and incredibly happy. Thereare formula bottles on the bedside table and a bassinet pushed close to the bed. Obviously, she hasn’t been away fromthe baby for a single moment.
The baby reaches up and grabs Vanessa’s thumb. Vanessa glowswith an expression of pure bliss.

119 EXT. MACGUFF HOUSE - DAY 119
It’s a sparkling summer afternoon. Juno wheels her bicycleout of the detached garage. She waves goodbye to Bren, who isplaying in the yard with two WEIMARANERS. She looks almost ashappy with her dogs as VANESSA looked with her baby.
120 EXT. SUBURBAN STREETS - DAY 120
Juno rides her bike aggressively down the street. Her guitaris slung over her shoulder in a gig bag. She’s obviously notpregnant anymore. She looks happy, but older.
JUNO V.O.
As boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is
totally boss. He is the cheese to
my macaroni. I know people are
supposed to fall in love before
they reproduce, but normalcy’s not
really our style.
As she tears recklessly down the street on her bikes, shepasses the Dancing Elk TRACK TEAM, still running inoutrageously skimpy shorts and bandanas.
Juno RIDES up to a garage where Bleeker is sitting, tuninghis guitar.
121 EXT. BLEEKER HOUSE - DAY 121
Juno bikes up to find Bleeker sitting on the stoop. Shesmiles and takes out her guitar. She sits across from Bleekerand pulls the pick out of the strings.
JUNO Ready?
Bleeker nods.
Juno begins strumming her guitar and playing “Anyone Else ButYou,” by the Moldy Peaches. Bleeker joins in. At first theirplaying is discordant, but suddenly it works.
BLEEKER
You’re a part time lover and a full-
time friend. The monkey on your
back is the latest trend.
